abercrombie1986's review against another edition
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.5
Let me disclose that this is book three and I did not read books one and two and I listened to this one and it is narrated by one of my favorite authors narrators.
I am always up for a good crime series, but I never fully connected with Mick, the detective. I'm guessing this is due to me picking up book three. But I did enjoy the mystery and figuring what if anything linked the murders. I felt like I was in Appalachian Ky and thought of Justified as I read it.
George Newbern did a great job bringing the story to life and representing the characters. I see such rave reviews of the start of the series, so I'm off to look those books up.

Regular country noir quality voice but standard police procedural this time with Mick Hardin. Looking forward to more character development and layered themes.

I found this book slow and difficult to become invested in. It’s written well enough. But I don’t think I’d ever read it again or recommend it to anyone else.
